Performance is most likely the reason. Remember, DX4WIN was originally developed on much slower computers than we have today. However, it might be time to rethink this. My log has over 60K QSOs and ALT-S saves almost instantaneously on a 933 MHz P3 computer with adequate RAM and hard disk space. It might be interesting to hear from others who have upwards of 200K or more QSOs in their log. 73 - Jim AD1C =====
